Cardiac muscle involvement in muscle disorders.
Cardiac muscle involvement is not a rare complication in muscle disorders as is most commonlyseen in muscular dystrophies. Hypertrophic and/or dilated cardiomyopathy progresses in parallel with disease progression in most of patients with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies, though cardiac failure mayprecede skeletal muscle symptoms, especially in Becker form. Cardiac muscle involvement is...
متن کاملMuscle Disorders
Stephanie Valberg, DVM, PhD, professor of large animal medicine and director of the University of Minnesota's Equine Center, began the in-depth seminar on muscle disorders by discussing diagnosis of muscle disorders, beginning with a careful physical exam and concise history of the clinical problem. She said in most cases, a muscle disorder arises from one of the following situations: muscle st...
متن کاملCardiac Muscle
1. Cardiac muscle is a striated muscle, with a sarcomere structure much like that of skeletal muscle. It has small cells (as in smooth muscle), firmly connected end-to-end at the intercalated disks. 2. The action potential in cardiac muscle is long lasting compared to the duration of the contraction, preventing a tetanic contraction. 3. Under normal circumstances, cardiac muscle operates at len...
متن کاملRegeneration in Cardiac Muscle.
Proliferation of striated muscle, either in the form of regeneration of damaged tissue or hyperplasia of relatively normal cells, is generally thought not to occur. Such an opinion is an example of the general idea that more " specialized " tissues differ from less " differentiated " tissues in that they are unable to multiply in adult life. This proposition, however, has gradually become more ...
متن کاملActivation in Cardiac Muscle
W hen a muscle is stimulated electrically, its ability to contract rises and then falls. It is conceptually easy to imagine, therefore, that something called the "active state" might rise and fall with a well-defined time course. Although the concept is simple, the attempts to measure this time course have produced such conflicting results that the whole concept has fallen into disrepute.1 Thes...
